IT MAKES SENSE TO ME

By Larry Peterson

 With the furor raging over the question of gender equality (identity), it might be time for EVERYONE to visit  St. John Paul II’s, Apostolic Letter regarding the dignity of women, Mulieris Dignitatem . 

The crusade for complete equality has taken a seriously convoluted turn.  Here (in my opinion) are the irrefutable facts in the order as I see them:  1)Man and Woman are both human beings;  2)Man and Woman are unique unto their own sex;  3)Man and Woman complement each other;  4)Man and Woman can form a bond with each other which allows them to be able to unite together  as one couple;  this natural, complimentary bond completes the Human equation;  5) the answer to the human equation is New Life.

Therefore  it follows that;  Man and Woman NEED each other; Man and Woman need to respect each other for their uniqueness which allows them to ‘complete ‘ each other ; and finally, Man and Woman will cease to exist without each other.  

This concept is generally mocked in a secular driven world. Therefore I am posting the message below from St John Paul II.
